__Do Not Expose port 8000 to the open internet__
If you need to have it exposed to the internet, restrict it to an IP Address via IPTABLES or other firewalls.
```bash
# Allow access from the specific IP address (replace 192.168.1.100 with your IP)
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -s {YOUR_PUBLIC_IP} -j ACCEPT
# Drop all other connections to port 8000
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -j DROP
```
If you need to be able to access the web interface from multiple locations, I recommend putting it behind an authenticated Proxy like Authentik
